Cutting Remarks

I wanted to design something that had a high light return, like a round brilliant, but with a very square outline. A lot of square designs don’t have much appeal because they’re just not very bright or distinctive. I think my Chinese Checker pretty much takes care of these issues.

This design cuts well with no changes in garnet, quartz, and tourmaline. It works best in a medium to light-colored material and will darken it a fair amount, because of its depth.
